I downloaded a copy of your FAB3000 software a few days ago for evaluation.
I received a set of Geber files from a customer. I was able to load the files (using autoload) into your software. As a Mechanical Engineer (working a lot with mechanical 3D models), its important that I can successful import output from your type of software into SolidWorks. Do you have any worked out sample file/example (step by step tutorial) that addresses this specific concern? May be something tailored for Mechanical Engineers.

Fortunately FAB 3000 does have a "STEP" output, which can be loaded by Solidworks and all other major 3D CAD software tools. Please perform the following:
1. Start FAB 3000, and import your gerbers. 2. Go to menu: File | Export | STEP... 3. Assign layer width(s). 4. Click Next, and assign STEP file name. 5. Start your SolidWorks (or other 3D cad software) and import the STEP file.
Here's a movie tutorial showing all required steps:
